How Are Batteries Shipped
Do they discharge batteries before shipping?

LiPos are shipped at or near "nominal" (3.7 v/cell) Not much power in them. Do not use before charging.

NiCd and NiMh generally are uncharged. Do not use before charging.
Except there are some new version NiMh that ship fully charged (will be labeled that they are ready to use)

That makes sense considering the fires that do happen!
